  • Title: Laceration of the left pulmonary artery during removal of a bronchogenic cyst by right thoracotomy.
    Author: Barman AA, Moideen AS, Chaudhry SS, Reich D.
    Journal: Chest; 1991 Jul; 100(1):267-8. PubMed ID: 2060362.
    Abstract:
    Major vascular involvement by a bronchogenic cyst is rare; most large cysts cause respiratory symptoms. We present a case in which a large bronchogenic cyst was adherent to the left pulmonary artery. During removal of the cyst by right thoracotomy, the artery lacerated. Repair of the artery in such a situation taxes the surgeon's ingenuity and decision-making process.
